Bring to book Sangram Singha attackers: Mahasabha demands

Taking a strong note to the abduction and later inflicting physical abuse on the Bishnupriya Manipuri Bangladeshi journalist Sangram Singha by the fundamentalist, the Nikhil Bishnupriya Manipuri Mahasabha has condemned the attack and called for immediate arrest and punishment of the perpetrators to the Government of Bangladesh.

The apex socio-cultural body of Bishnupriya Manipuri people in India and abroad, the Nikhil Bishnupriya Manipuri Mahasabha, has urged upon the Government of Bangladesh to protect life and provide security to the Bishnupriya Manipuri community which in terms of language-spoken comes in the minority in the neighbouring country.

The attack on Sangram Singha was taken seriously by media in Bangladesh and was prominently carried out in the print. He is associated with a Slyhet-based Bengali daily ‘The Daily Jugantor’ and also with ‘ETV Sylhet’.
